Since having my second baby I've gone from a size 10 with a wardrobe containing lots of lovely pre-baby classic clothes (Joseph, LK Bennett, Hobbs, lots of cashmere).
A year later, I'm still a size 12(and quite little, 5 foot 3), with a truely mummy tummy and I am resigning myself to the fact that this could be a long term situation! Although some of my old clothes fit, they just don't look good and I feel like a dumpling in them. Last year I bought lots of casual (and cheap) clothes for day to day wear but I'd now like to build up more classic, classy clothes that make me feel great.
I'm not quite sure what will suit me now, but that sorts of clothes I like are shortish dresses/tunics with boots and quirky tights, lovely knitwear, pencil skirts and dresses, cigarette trousers, silk tops etc. I love to wear heels but don't get the chance very often. I don't like loud patterns or colours, but love interesting fabrics such as lacework and tweed. My colouring is light brown hair and blue eyes but quite olive skin and I like to wear grey, cream, navy, purple, cerise and emerald.
Any ideas would be really welcome. Have a £500 budget and would love 5-10 lovely, classic pieces that I can wear for years to come.
Thanks :)
